[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to:
1) begin putting feelers out for a new job.  You need to get a backup plan together
2) call a meeting with the parents and explain that the baby's needs are demanding all of your time and the current situation is unsustainable.  Ask that they talk to the pediatrician about reflux or another medical issue.  Give them some possible solutions for the short term:
A) MB takes the baby for at least 3 hours per day (overlapping with toddler's nap/quiet time for the day) so that you get a break
B) You continue to care for both children but with zero household tasks in addition
C) They hire a mother's helper to come hold/walk the baby for at least 3 hours overlapping with toddler's nap/quiet time

Make it clear that you are at the end of your rope and you cannot continue to care for both children and accomplish ANY household tasks unless you get a significant break.

This is not about the baby and it is not a bonding issue, it is about the structure of this job.[/quote]
